Hello Jason,

I think this rule exists because it exists in Civ2. And I think it has been
a bug in Civ2, too.

Currently, upgrading for money keeps vet state, Leonardo's does not.

With new veteran levels, Leonardo can be a real pitfall.

That's why, I think, we should fix it now.

If we don't, we need to fix the documentation. More complaints to come.

What we can do next is, discuss, whether upgrading in general should keep
vet state or, with vetlevels>1, should decrease the vet level by 1, eg.

Christian
